why does the textile ways get stranded here? all about the final stuff in the global fashion industry. fast fashion. watch now on youtube, the . this is focus on europe. i'm laura baba lola, welcome. for centuries, it was water that help protect the tiny archipelago event as against invaders, but now water itself has become the threat. in 2019, the italian city experienced the worst flooding in decades with high tide levels inundating the lagoon. historic buildings and architectural masterpieces were damaged, smaller floods continued to hit venice of sea levels rise in the foundations of the
3:31 pm
city. think but this year the tide could change in venice as favor the mos, a project, a system of mobile floodgates that act as a barrier between the sea and the lagoon is finally complete. when the tide is too high or low, as it is activated to stop the water from breaching the city. but keeping venice dry comes at a cost marine research or d or own. these are warns that the flood gates are only a short term solution. the venice has fascinated the world for over 1600 years and for just as long people have been scared of floods or worried that the city could sink into the sea. this is the latest attempt to protect venice. 78 metal barriers that can be raised to separate the sea from the ground. the system is called mos that signal triple simone. if we hadn't,
3:32 pm
had moses venice would have been irreparably destroyed on november 22nd or 2022. it was the 2nd highest flooding history quote, but nothing happened. we were able to protect the lagoon and venice of del, provide long advantage. elizabeth to spits has already given the order to raise the barriers over 50 times, less to compare search, see, and she's having to do it increasingly frequently. so think about the jeanetta bell curve feet the most that we now know that the most it is a flexible instrument that does not always have to be opened, nor at the same time set down a little sub. today we know much more about the black than when, so we're in a position to act again. flooding that out within 50, has the most a system only partially to guarantee the exchange of water between the sea. the goons come green, did a go. somebody that does that mean venice can be saved?
3:33 pm
climate experts predict that the sea level could rise by 60 centimeters by the end of the century. the oceanographer gate arc when the keys and says that most it is just buying time the most else. and he's most uh enough to say tennis game. a man yes. at the moment. change but definitely in the next 1020 or 30 years. but if the sea level rises by 50 centimeters, and it will have to be used $300.00 to $400.00 times, that's once a day 1st. i mean it wouldn't manage the shaft that it moves. it won't be able to cool as structure. but nora with the lagoon manage it because it needs the exchange of water. did i want it? but often i was, gosh, marco single vinny from the venice institute of marine sciences is researching the lagoons eco system. he says the frequency with which most a is being used has not yet had any major consequences. but this could change if the lagoon is separated from the sea more frequently and for longer periods of time
3:34 pm
. the. okay, so i mean it's a sort of thing. it could be that at some point, we'll have to decide whether it makes sense to maintain the lagoon as a salt water, lagoon or noise that oversee the long closures interrupt the cycle between the sea and the lagoon, which is fundamental for venice. and we're also open to them, you know that it's what creates the laguna floors open, which determines what plants and animals can live there. i think it, we're going to face talk decisions because they could understand the future whether to save the lagoon or the city the nations would ideally keep both the san marco is the lowest point of venice and the 1st applied work is currently under way to raise the square, the, i'm going to my buddy now were raised to a $110.00 centimeters in the square would no longer be under water. because it would manage up to a $110.00 centimeters with like flooding and uh over
3:35 pm
a $110.00 centimeters come. and what was the system would close? so in other words, there would be no more flooding on the son michael. he believes we need to have faith that people often forget that venice has sunk 30 centimeters in the past 150 years. too much ground water has been pumped from the cities aquifers. but ground water could also help save the city from disaster response that it's not always the water that's being pumped out. this pump by the end and finish could rise by 30 centimeters again. i'm sorry, that would be the exact, the 30 centimeters that we've lost in the past, the 150 years. so the one i'm going to, let's move on that. so we will be going back the button, the starting at 0 again, so to speak, for most of us are he says that venice, as we know it cannot last forever in any case. at some point the lagoon will have to be separated from the sea. and the venetians will be forced to decide
3:36 pm
what kind of a, by those cannot be rescued. we have to decide what to save some vent investment. there is only one bending and it keeps my, i'm been in a difficult decision. one venetians hope they will never have to make is a therapy that would be a game changer in the fight against cancer. radio isotopes cannot only detect but also target and destroy cancer cells. it only a handful of nuclear research reactors worldwide can produce them. and with the infrastructure aging and cancer rates increasing globally, demand is fast outpacing supply. while most of the research reactors are in europe, including one in belgium, scientists there say that if the wants to avoid serious shortages, more facilities need to be built. and soon for many germans,
3:37 pm
it's an intimidating sight. the dome of a nuclear reactor, this plant in mole belgium is one of the oldest in europe. however, it's not actually used for generating energy, but rather for scientific research. it plays a central role in nuclear medicine. then apple, so grew up, so to speak with b, r to and is proud of its history. let's say is it certainly one of the most important to react though? yeah. for the the liable supply of music or we do i that the real but lifted them. 99 or molly 99 for short is the name of the coveted isotope that enables ultra personalized diagnoses of cancer and the task disease for up to 40000000 patients worldwide. but like all radioactive isotopes, it is not stable. after the 66 hours pop for us activity is gone. so we cannot stop 5. so it's very important that we have
3:38 pm
a very nice cold the nation between those 26 who react or in fact involved in the robot supply of money 99. so that's about but in germany there have already been bottlenecks and treatments have been postponed because there are only 6 reactors worldwide that make the isotope for in europe in belgium, the netherlands, poland, and check in one in australia and one in south africa in the americas in asia, none 50 percent of the real bad money. 99 club dissection is sent to the us and canada. so nope, i mean we go it's the main consumer offer morning. $996799.00 in europe is consuming 25 percent of the demons and the 25 percent is supplied around the us, however,
3:39 pm
supplies the uranium and keeps a close eye on safety in the aging belgian reactor, small is also a research center focusing on medicines of the future, radio isotopes are just for the diagnosis of cancer, but also for its treatment. radioactivity of all things may ultimately be the game changer. there's lot of clinical trials ongoing. there's a lot of research groups trying to really get new new compounds into the clinic. so i think we only see the top of the high back because with the right combination of carrier molecule and isotope cancer cells could be directly targeted, which would spare, healthy tissue, and means far fewer side effects. even highly aggressive types of cancer could be attacked in this way. nuclear medicine is booming. the brand new, you're bored. a institute is the hospital in belgium for cancer treatment. here
3:40 pm
radio isotopes are used for diagnosis, but i've also been deployed in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, which even leads patients radioactive for a day. after the radio isotope injection, the patient must be isolated for 24 hours. teresa bar, according to professor patrick simon, after 4 injections tumor shrank, and at least a 3rd of patients who had shown no response to other treatments. not yet a cure, but life prolonging and pain, relieving the success can be seen in what's called a pet scan. a 2000000 euro camera that makes the work of radioactive particles in the body visible against a backdrop of sunny skies in the belgian coast. this kind of environment takes away part of the x. i see that the patients have when they enter disco football, this is one of the most successful moments that you can imagine in the face of live across these kinds of machinery to decide whether they rid of the treatments off
3:41 pm
efficient off with the effective or not the opportunities offered by nuclear medicine have increased the demand for isotopes and with that increased pressure on the few reactors, the u wants to provide millions and research funding that reactors are not built overnight. and many people are afraid of them. the graves over turned in a cemetery plots of land swallowed by the earth destruction that was caused not by an earthquake, but by sing calls residence in the southern polish town of cuban. yeah. are alarmed at the mass of craters that began appearing 2 years ago. at the root of the problem is a mine that was the commission decades ago. going away for to watch. i was recently widowed and his morning her husband's death, but you can't visit his grave because this thing cold of parts of his cemetery off limits, residents into bidding you are living in fear not knowing if the ground below them
3:42 pm
will collapse. the student, the sink holes were so big that entire buildings collapsed. the shell, but people are afraid for their lives. there are a lot of homes here. have a house like this collapses. if someone will die, she's not fuck. yeah, fucked. you don't make you go. she's actually no one knows where it's still safe. she'd be near a small city and southern poland sits up of a massive cavity left behind by the coal mining industry. and it has gradually collapsing like the giant sink hole in this property, which has been hastily filled in yeah, not yet. sky looks a few houses a week on john paul, the 2nd street. he lives with his wife and son,
3:43 pm
for whom the move to the country side. he's very worried. he's trying to hold back into resistible force. you have to and that's it provides you. i've just filled in the soil here. i am jo, everything was level here and now you can see that it has sunk again a 2nd. i'm definitely afraid. you know? yeah, i go to bed. don't know what the grounds will collapse under arrest. the next morning club is just brought to you and you're going to right on. it'll be a meter deeper. could you tell me your budget? you're dropping it down or met that or to utilize? no. that should be a coal. mine was close at the turn of the millennium, and since then, the underground shots are filled up with water and stuff in the ground, which is started giving we disagree. the ard was huge. in the summer, dozens of grieves disappeared into the sink hole. a great shock for general visa collette check her family grief with spirits,
3:44 pm
but she can no longer visit her husband's to disposal enough time. yeah. to start over there. so that's where the yellow crane is that like james stone, right at the back half of the symmetry has been closed for for years of new singles . right. it's hard. my husband died just recently. the, all she has left is the food to on her food. and the hope that the graveyard will be restored soon to be near city hall is in a state of emergency. some are already talking about it back to ration marietta to swap a coach. it is under pressure to take action. when did you minutes hours? yeah. what's on the, when the, we're paying for the mistakes of the past? i know all of the mistakes made during the underground coal mining phase for when the shops were in operation, the consequences were forgotten or ignored. i'll be put solve the extent that in
3:45 pm
when i look at all the documents today is throwing up. i believe all of this could have been foreseen who books of egypt, a number of properties and the time being court engulf people are not allowed to enter of the state's own company. specializes in cleaning up damage caused by the mines. holes are being bored. 70 meters into the ground. the geologists are certain that their method will prevent future singles to submit that. so we're going to fill these cavities with a mixture of dusty cement and sand to eliminate the possibility of the land to thinking in the future. so i'm going to guess cool. thanks for the purpose of letting me we will continue doing this until we are confident that the area is safe for everyone to stay with. it will be from valve by just 7 years, but that is our goal. and that is what we're going to achieve, the provides you types like these ones that being some kinda current everywhere and
3:46 pm
should be new and thousands of cubic meters of cement being poured to fill the cavities. the mere hopes that will help the fields. it's the duty of the published state as long as i'm on government, show me off the sure. mean, i have no intention of using the cities resources to solve the problem is up and over which we had no influence to the and the consequences of which we are unfortunately suffering. now. good and wish me but enough for you bought it back on john paul the 2nd street. yeah. and my etzky visits, his neighbor and boy chess from uh who recently found cracks and the walls of his smallest barn of the building is older than he is. but the cracks are new, tons of cement have already been pumped into the ground on his property. but he types will do any good. the workers moved on, he says before the holes were even full of this was the the way they work here is you're not sure if it's done 100 percent properly. if the or if the problem will
3:47 pm
come back. you have a beautiful life as little as like a few days later, the ground and his neighborhood caves. and again, here's bread from an apartment building the residence of should be near, continue to live in fear, village actions, built pyramids as monuments for pharaohs, and albania. as capital is also home to one, originally made to honor ally dictator. during communist rule, the pyramid of toronto was a museum dedicated to a former leader and for a whole jet. well, it has since been given a new lease on life as a monument to the people. now the pyramid has been transformed into a cultural hub, but not every one is a fam photos. lu vanya was imprisoned, under the communist dictators regime. he sees the newly renovated pyramid as an attempt to gloss over
3:48 pm
a dark chapter. in his country's history. it's gone what it takes to become the new landmark about pena's capital, to run the pyramid at the heart of the city. every day, hundreds of locals and tourists climb up at and enjoy the view from the top. so it's wonderful here and i'm usually not good at climbing, but i made it up here before that. so it would be great if there were an elevator up here for as old people call it, it's totally changed here. and i still remember what it used to look like, but no really beautiful. because the parent was the landmark of toronto once before 35 years ago. it was inaugurated as the end for hose and museum and dedicated to the former dictator of albania. how much it was a style, and it says brutal rain lasted over 40 years. thought house livonia was one
3:49 pm
of tens of thousands of political prisoners at the time to the pyramid. he says with a symbol of oppression and is now a symbol of modern albania, is historical ignorance. look, this nice bit of a data you will go up and you'll see to around all the fees, but there is not just a few more and the news, i mean, i mean as a symbol of the dictators at home, the bone, your shows us what he means and the bone, his father was a functionary in the who is your machine before he fell out of favor. the whole family was forced to atone. the will refuse for education and propaganda getting through gene for people and the rest of them. the family was sent in different station. livonia was a prisoner of the osha regime. for 17 years. he spent most of this time doing forced labor and then the toria spots prison. this is all remaining of uh
3:50 pm
like for make light lamps. are we used in the mine, you know spanish was like a stolen is to lock hell on earth. survival under in human conditions. almost all books were strictly forbidden, apart from dictionaries, which livonia used to hide something that would later making famous. his 1st book written on cigarette paper during his incarceration in miniature script. that to me by a friend the bonia is now a writer and artist, and a critical voice and albania. in his view, the renovated pyramid is an attempt to erase artist and a critical voice in albania. and his is an attempt to erase the maintenance i'm in albany. i come here and find the past
3:51 pm
point fully. while the dutch architects in charge were passed visible the motion and on the stairs. the important change is found on the stairs. then the majority of things you should prop lucky, so people should feel like they are incurring that terrible symbolically opposing communism. i'm using a dictatorship, repeat the word, i wonder, communities me from the, the, the customers again and again, the buildings history is revealed in various places. this is, that's all part of that it's only painted and it's so rough that to, to show that he's 30 of, of the in the new pyramid. everything revolves around the future. colorful cubes
3:52 pm
built into the vast space. how's the 2 most center for creative technology? the young people can learn to implement their ideas here using state of the art technology. anyone can take part here and it's free of the cars to come reduce. i've already done a few introductory courses at to mo, and i think i'll continue. i see my future in technology. technology and tutors also lend a helping hand in the workshop next door. a project is nearing completion and it's not about computer games. but about all bane is dark past the course. so this is a graphic design class at tumor, and we're working on a project about spots present to brittany point. we're going to sponsor a project about of all things the prison where fontose livonia was held. perhaps they'll be news or not is oblivious to history as he fears
3:53 pm
them. how was, how was created, and this is how we suffer so much because of the see little how in order not to repeat something they seem to be working on in the new care of it. the delivery on demand has a revolutionize the consumer world. but this transport truck in france is like no other. with a flip of a switch, it transforms into a cinema. it's culture on demand for small towns without a movie, theater, and initiative supported by the state. instead of streaming at home alone, audiences of all ages come together for our unique cinematic experience. it's always entertaining when joseph tippon ski drive this truck into lar valley and central friends. and all the more so when he transforms it into
3:54 pm
a sentiment with a few presses of a button. the same appeal can see 100 people. the running is a one man show initial fail. we drive, look after the audience sell tickets, project the films clean up all by yourself. will see you have to wear many hats, but all onto the tickets. get to 1st off for the kids to watch an animated film. people here see that the move outs and amount is getting some children access to culture for the 1st time to show them that so it's great that sydney will be like this. and that way children don't have to go into town to the course. that's fine. this is turned on for this and will be opens up new opportunities and giving children a bit of education, an introduction to film, so to speak. there are some cnn will be used working across the region and showing the latest films people can go to the cinema without being
3:55 pm
a big hassle. set down is this way, people experience culture that they wouldn't otherwise have access to like older people in a retirement home. for example, on amazon the type the ticket price is also accessible. children pay for euros and adults p $6.00 us 20. but the tickets don't cover the act for each cynical deal is worth $1200000.00 euros for the regional president thinks it's money. well spent single do not really cool. if we only give it to people in big size, the gap arises. and there's a feeling that there are people who have access to culture and those who don't see why they could do it. we don't want that to be. culture has to unite people could just bring us together and i could do to across on the, at a time when our societies are very fragile. 50. so one quick question. this is the name will be elizabeth more than cinema. it's also about francis identity. it's

3:59 pm
join us for an exciting explanation of everything in between. the most is a video and audio production by d w. i hope that you will tune it so you don't think and do the same way you expect and more different things from life than your parents. i just want to pursue what that's nice on the side or you think your kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, reasonable stopping port is nonsense. i want my son to the doctor. joe, in the clubs. it's time to to vehicle your generation with a sleep us. i'm them when generation as class this week on the dw says kind of fun,
